Early Sunday morning a bicyclist was hit by a motor- vehicle. The driver immediately fled the scene. Tom Lueck was air lifted to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. He is in serious but stable condition. KCCI's Ben Jordan spoke to his wife today. The victim's wife says Tom was riding home alone after a long bike ride with his friends. She wasn't expecting him home until late, but the wake up call she received was worse than any nightmare of her life. "I WAS SO SCARED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS GOING TO LIVE OR NOT." Leuck was nearly home when he was struck by a motor vehicle said to be traveling at high speeds based on damage to his bike and injuries he suffered. "PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING WENT THROUGH MY MIND. YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT TWO BOYS WHO ARE BOTH 7 YEARS OLD THEY NEED THEIR DAD." He was severely injured, breaking his tailbone, seven ribs, both legs and a collapsed lung. "LUECK WAS FOUND LYING ON THIS ROAD BY A DRIVER WHO IMMEDIATELY CALLED 9-1-1." "THEY SAW SOMETHING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AND I'M SO GLAD THEY MADE THAT DECISION BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY WITHOUT THEM." Although it happened around 2:15 a.m., Lueck should have been seen his bike was equipped with headlights, and red flashing tail- lights. State Patrol says they don't have any leads on the culprit. "WE ARE SEARCHING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL THAT STRUCK THE BICYCLIST. WE'RE AT A STANDSTILL NOW BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL WE DON'T HAVE ANY WITNESSES, WE DON'T HAVE ANY WITNESS STATEMENTS." Given the time, his wife wonders if the driver was either drunk or thought they hit a deer. "WE'RE HOPEFUL WE'LL FIND WHO DID THIS. I MEAN IF THEY FIND IT WAS A HABITUAL DRUNK DRIVER I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM OFF THE ROADS." With no witnesses, the state patrol is seeking help from the community, especially auto- repair shops. "IN CASES LIKE THIS, WE DEPEND ON THE PUBLIC TO HELP US OUT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO PAINT MARKS ON THE BICYCLE, THERE'S NOBODY THAT WITNESSED IT, THE BICYCLIST CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING, IT'S LATE AT NIGHT." Leuck is expected to be in the hospital for at least a month. His family asks for prayers as Tom has a long road to recovery. Thanks Ben.
